    Wayde Sims was an "unbelievable person" and "a blast to be around at all time," LSU basketball coach Will Wade said at a somber news conference Friday morning, less than 12 hours after Sims was shot dead in Baton Rouge.

    "Always had a smile ... he got us going in practice ... he'd do anything for anybody on our team," said Wade, who described the tragedy as "your worst nightmare as a coach."

    Sims, 20, was shot after an altercation broke out just after midnight across the street from Southern University, said police spokesman Sgt. L'Jean McKneely. He was shot at 12:25 a.m. Friday near a Subway restaurant in the 600 block of Harding Boulevard, about a block from Southern's A.W. Mumford Stadium.

    Sims was transported to a hospital where he died from a gunshot wound, McKneely said.
